[The97Runner]

Just changed my oil, i hate my oil filter haha and i want to say 4runners hold 5 qts? I know this is a stupid thread lol. Also stupid questions. might i add its a V6

I think I use between 5.3-5.5 qts last time i did an oil change.

On my 2001 SR5. I put exactly 5 quarts in each time. Brings it right to the middle line.

 

[SantaCruzRunner]

All of them!:reddance:

 

[The97Runner]

Maybe ill just put in the whole 6 then lol

My first 2 3rd Gen's took 5.5 quarts. However, my current 4Runner takes 6 to 6.25 quarts.

I would try putting in 5.5, then letting it sit for a few minutes and check the dipstick. Keep adding a little each time until it hits your "Full" line. Keep a mental note of the amount so you don't have to do this over and over.

I am not sure if any ducting, or dimensions changed from year to year, but its safe to say if you have 5.5 to 6 quarts in there, you should be fine.

My 4 cylinder takes exactly 5 quarts every single time and it's prefect!

Oil Capacity

Haynes says 5.5 for 3.4L V6 with filter change and 5.7 for the 4cyl's. Those sorry SOB's with the 4's thought they were more economic. Ha ha. Who's laughing now?


I have only been a member on here for a short time as I had no idea how great this forum is. The builds, information, and comradery - very talented people sharing their passion = AWESOME!

Thanks T4R!

I'm right at 5.5 qts with the stock size filter.

 

[Zachpins34]

I think mine was exactly 6

Mine takes about 7L per oilchange, I've taken to buying Shell Rotella in the 18.9L pails and can't even get 3 oilchanges out of them.

I put in 6 with the stock filter. I like that it's easy, and I don't have to measure!

Let me guess, you get only 2.7 oil changes per bucket.

I hate to say but The R oil is kinda the bottom of the barrel.

Mines take 5.6 liter or 5.9 quarts. It gets the oil level right at the center of the dip stick hi/lo marks. Using a mobil1 oil filter.
